2 Tyrants, 1 Leader

Trump saw the FBI on his trail. So he fired Comey.

Senate Boss Berger was enraged that Democrats had the gall to propose amendments to his budget. So at 3 am he rammed through an amendment taking money away from schools in Democratic districts.

Those were the actions of tyrants.

There’s another way.

Governor Cooper believed he had a responsibility to stop the damage HB2 was doing to North Carolina. So he worked out a solution with Democrats and Republicans. He shepherded it through the legislature, even though some of his strongest supporters were angry.

Then North Carolina got 1,200 new jobs paying $100,000 on average.

That’s how a leader does it.
